This is a collection
of images which I received in 1998 from the Russian polar
orbiting weather satellite Meteor 3-5. All pictures
were received on 137.850 MHz using a home-built FM
receiver based on a kit from Holger Eckardt DF2FQ (shown
on the picture to the right). With this receiver and a 2m X-Quad
antenna I received the automatic picture (APT) transmissions and
decoded them using the sound card of my PC. The complete station
was running fully automated and was controlled by a PC. The pictures
are sorted by date of reception. Please click on the icons to load
the full scale pictures which are up to 1 MB large. The interference
in some of the pictures was generated locally and did not come from
the satellite.

Here are some older pictures which I received from Meteor 3-5 in
1994. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the exact setup which I had
used at that time.
